Welcome to your body's amazing fascia! 'Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin.'(source: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org)In this episode, Dr. Carver interviews Kalei Tompkins as they explore the relationship between oral health, fascia, and how to create whole body health in yourself and your children. Kalei is CPR Certified, Yoga Certified by the American Fitness Association, a Certified Life Coach by Transformation Academy, a Certified Loss Doula by SBD University, & a Movement Instructor, CFT Facilitator & Owner of Movement Matters Healing Arts. Kalie's gift is understanding movement and how to release fascia in our body for excellent full-body healing results. She found a passion for facilitating healing through fascial unwinding using the Gillespie Approach (formerly known as CFT) Kalei was trained in this form of bodywork in North Carolina with the creator, Berry Gillespie himself. This is where she learned the art & science of movement through the fascia and the unwinding process.
